Software Requirements

TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-1 requires the Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B-1 operating system. The Tru64 UNIX operating system
is a separately licensed product. See the Tru64 UNIX operating system 

QuickSpecs

 for more information.

TruCluster Server requires that additional software subsets be installed. See the 

TruCluster Server Cluster Installation

 manual

for more information.

Requirements

When configuring TruCluster Server software, an additional 64 MB of memory is required on each member system.
Each system requires a disk for a member boot disk and the cluster requires a minimum of one disk for clusterwide
root, /usr, and /var file systems. A quorum disk is optional. See the 

TruCluster Server Cluster Hardware

Configuration

 manual for details. Free disk space required for use (permanent): 62 MB to load TruCluster Server

software onto a Tru64 UNIX system disk.

These requirements refer to the disk space required on the system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary
depending on the system environment, configuration, and software options.

Growth Considerations

The minimum hardware and software requirements for any future version of this product may be different from the
requirements for the current version.

A rolling upgrade to the next version of the cluster software requires the following:

At least 50 percent free space in root (/), cluster_root#root
At least 50 percent free space in /usr, cluster_usr#usr
At least 50 percent free space in /var, cluster_var#var, plus an additional 425 MB to hold the subsets for the new
version of the Tru64 UNIX operating system
At least 50 percent free space in /usr/i18n, cluster_i18n#i18n when used.
